Just did fuel lines, and never understand why people are afraid of the selector valve. They are $35, and i guess i personally have yet to see a newer one fail in the 6 years i have been around GMC's. Even if it would fail, plumbing around it is quick and pretty painless.

Here is a post of the fuel line replacement I just did. I started on saturday morning, and fuel tanks were back in, and I made a late dinner out. Had some misc stuff to finish up on sunday morning, so the whole job was not too tough.

Here are some photos and how I did the selector valve and added an aux fuel pump. Others go the two fuel pump route, but this has worked well for me going on 6 years now and in my humble opinion,
Much easier and simpler.
